Sinking vessels in rought weather.

I'm off the strait of Gibraltar (seen Das Boot... long version... NOT GOING IN THERE).

I have intercepted a westward moving convoy in the middle of some serious **** can weather. I have struck a C2 cargo ship and it's not moving anywhere. It's sitting barely deeper in the water and try for the life of me I CAN'T SINK IT!

I am using the RUB mod. I have been sitting off its port beam firing torpedos for 30 minutes all of them get deflected. What's my problem? I'm not supposed to use magneticly fused torps because I have heard that they are practically useless in rough weather. Even if I did, since the cargo ship is sitting SLIGHTLY deeper in the water there is no way to accurately find it's draft under the surface.

I need advice all you experts out there. I'm in a Type IX so no shortage of torps.

Help me out!!!
